October is packed with FREE kids activities, restaurant deals, shopping events, Halloween freebies and family fun! Bookmark this list because there’s something happening almost every day.

A quick note: promotions can vary by location, and some October offers have not yet been published on the brands’ official sites, so check the linked store before making a special trip. I also corrected the big shopping-event dates where current information is available: Walmart Deal Days runs October 5–11, and Amazon Prime Big Deal Days runs October 6–7. NBC News
